Real light increments using aperture scale in fractional stops
In the case of using f-number with full stops, the +1EV step means 2*light because the Area (A = πr^2) in the diaphragm is doubled (i.e. radius*√2).
However, I don't know why in fractional stops such ...

What techniques do higher-end lenses use to reduce astigmatism at high apertures?
I own a few lenses with a maximum aperture of f/2.8. For this question, I'll focus on two specifically:
A Rokinon 14mm f/2.8, which retails around the $500 CAD mark; and
A Sigma 24-70 f/2.8, which ...
